Pennsylvania’s public health spending ranks in the lowest tier of states, according to a new survey released Thursday.<\/p>\n

Public health officials said the study released by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation may not present a full apples-to-apples comparison with other states, but that shouldn’t detract from the main finding that the federal and state governments are failing to keep up with public health needs.<\/p>\n

The findings in the report, "Investing in America’s Health: A State-by-State Look at Public Health Funding and Key Health Facts," showed that Pennsylvania ranks 43rd for per-capita state public health spending.<\/p>\n

The state also gets a relatively small piece of federal public health spending, ranking 47th for state spending by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> and 32nd for per-capita spending by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
